Find Family-Friendly Hotels in Totton

"Good points: On arrival, there was plenty of parking in a pleasant setting. The reception staff were very friendly and provided clear directions to my room, the bars, and other facilities. The main reception area was well presented and gave a very promising first impression. Not so good: The room was clean and a good size, but it felt a little dated, particularly the bathroom. There was damage to the door, and some of the fittings looked tired. Bad points: When I went to use the pool and gym facilities, three members of staff at the spa desk simply told me to help myself to a towel from the large pile next to them and that the male changing rooms were through the double doors, which my room key should open. There was no guidance on what was connected to the changing rooms, where the gym was, or where any other facilities were located. In fact, a local spa member gave me better customer service than all three staff combined. The restaurant layout felt very impersonal, almost like a school dinner hall, with row after row of tables. Service was prompt — perhaps too prompt. I ordered sausage and mash, although it had a fancier name on the rather tatty menu. It felt as though the waiter took my order to the kitchen and returned almost immediately with the food. It was food, and I was hungry, but it was nothing to write home about. Summary: At around £130 per night, would I stay again? No."

"I think I had a very different expectation about the room I stayed in. It was very small. Definitely, it looked differently when compared to rooms' pictured on The Elsabeth House Hotel's website. There were no shelves to unpack my stuff. The bathroom was very poorly equipped. The room was clean and the Staff was friendly. Breakfast was great and the Bar had good food. Before you book your accommodation with The Elisabeth House Hotel, please read the details describing the size of room you get."

"We have stayed in the Crown several times so were happy to re visit whilst touring the New Forest in ideal location. Helpful, cheerful staff made us welcome . Nothing to much trouble We declined an evening meal in hotel as we were meeting friends in town but breakfast was excellent wide choice available. The down side of our stay is that the hotel really now seemed "tired" appearance. Window frames paint flaking off the decor in our room (203) was "dated' in need of a refurb. Mould in bathroom / shower, mirror corroded etc For a De luxe room maybe guest bathrobes would be a welcome addition All in all we enjoyed our stay & would probably visit again and submit this review as our personal observations only In a competitive hotel industry attention to detail for the future is paramount "

"Overall stay was ok, standard rooms are a little bit no frills but clean and comfortable. Buffet / restaurant staff weren’t the friendliest in my opinion, food was ok."

"The room was really nicely done and I appreciated the little extra touches like biscuits, hot chocolate sachets, and nice bramley toiletries. It was a bit dated in places (eg bathroom door chipped at the bottom, a couple of moths, and noise from other rooms using their water and walking upstairs). The staff were very friendly and attentive, making for a nice check in and check out experience. The pool, steam room, sauna, and jacuzzi were so lovely. It was a peaceful area that felt modern and clean. It was a little small so felt busy at times (eg waiting to use the jacuzzi) but was really great to have at this hotel. The rain shower in the bathroom was also really lovely. Breakfast was great with a really nice selection all round and full size pastries and pancake machine a real bonus! "

"I loved my stay at Leonardo! Cosy room, beautifully decorated spaces, and a lovely staff. The location was perfect for me- a short cab or a meandering walk from the rail line, right across the street from stunning parks. My only complaint would be a few missed spills and stains in the room, but the core items, bed, shower, toilet, were perfectly clean and maintained."

"Great location, small rooms, clean but basic."

"Breakfast buffet was delicious lots of choices. Omelettes made to order "

"I had a truly lovely stay at this hotel. From the moment I arrived, the staff were incredibly warm, welcoming, and attentive. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and their friendly approach really made the whole experience feel special and relaxed. The room itself was spotless and beautifully maintained. Everything was clean, fresh, and comfortable, which made it easy to settle in and enjoy the stay. It’s clear that a lot of care goes into keeping the rooms to such a high standard. Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The combination of such kind, helpful staff and a clean, comfortable room made my stay thoroughly enjoyable, and I would happily return again."
